Tal Lev-Ram, who writes for “Israel’s” Maariv newspaper, describes developments in the West Bank and East Al-Quds as the biggest threat to the Zionist security establishment. Lev-Ram suggests that the “Israeli” army will not enter into a renewed round of escalation and will not respond immediately after every explosive balloon launched from Gaza.
“The south is calm after the end of ‘Guardian of the Walls’, which was wrapped up at dawn last Friday, but tensions remain high and are expected to do so for a long time. The powder keg can easily explode in the West Bank, in East Al-Quds, and in Al Aqsa Compound, as well as in the Gaza Strip,” he wrote.
According to Lev-Ram, “Israel’s” Chief of Staff Aviv Kochavi and War Minister Benny Gantz see the latest operation as the last opportunity to implement what "Israel" pledged after the disengagement: launching missiles or an operation from the Strip will be met with a painful “Israeli” military response that is qualitatively different from what was prevalent in recent years.
“This pledge to lead ‘Israel’ will be tested in the coming months,” he added, noting that “This does not mean that ‘Israel’ will enter into a renewed round of escalation, or that its response will be immediate after every explosive balloon launched from Gaza.”
Meanwhile, the journalist underscored that: “However, the activation of force though policies at the political level may have different objectives than those before the confrontation.”
“In addition to the threats from the Gaza Strip and the tension that will persist in the near future, all concerned parties within the security establishment see that the greatest threat emanating from developments in the West Bank and East Al-Quds.”
Lev-Ram also said: “Israeli” officials believe that the Biden administration is contributing to this, and there is an agreement between the army’s leadership and the ‘defense’ minister that this is the right direction. However, it is not clear at this stage if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also has the same view on the matter."
